Post Shave


Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Citris Musk Eau De Cologne 4
Moisturizer: Thayer's Witch Hazel Moisturizing Lotion 3






Result: 4.5/5.0 The Musgo Real Lime Oil Glycerin soap was a dud. I had to enhance it with some Kiss My Face Unscented Shave Cream which once again saved the day. The lather went poof. You know when you hear a lot of soap crackling you're in trouble. Too bad. The Musgo Real Shave Cream is a different animal and much better in my opinion. 3 Roses Hair Tonic is nice but discontinued.
